Cabinet Secretary, it was a huge success, the UEFA cup final here in Cardiff, but, obviously, a series of events before that came to Cardiff, to show that Wales, and Cardiff in particular, could obviously accommodate such a mega event. One things that has been disappointing is the Welsh Government’s lack of ambition to bid for a Commonwealth Games here in Wales. And, as we’ve proven that we can host some of the biggest, if not the biggest, sporting event in 2017, I wonder whether the Cabinet Secretary was minded to maybe reconsider some of the options that might be available to a successful Welsh bid to host a future Commonwealth Games as we go forward. Surely, that would be the pinnacle of bringing many nations into this part of the United Kingdom, and show what a great country we are and what an able country we are to host these major events.
